Charges have been approved following the arrest of a Burnaby man that took place at Simon Fraser University, recently.
According to Burnaby RCMP, the charges come following an incident on December 11, around 9 pm, when an officer responded to a call from campus security, who were requesting assistance with a man refusing to leave a campus dining hall.
Police said security informed them that they had received a complaint from a student and that the man was on the premises without a mask and contrary to the SFU’s safety requirements, which only allow current students on campus. The campus security reported having spent time attempting to defuse the situation and gain the cooperation of the man, only calling police after being unable to do so.

Simon Fraser University (SFU) and the Burnaby RCMP are facing backlash after the Tasering and arrest of a Black man on campus, who has since been identified as an alumnus of the University.
On Twitter, Student Society President Osob Mohamed called SFU a “sick” institution, following the December 11 incident.
@SFU is a sick institution. A Black alum was pepper sprayed, tased and arrested for simply trying to get food in the dining hall on campus. This after countless conversations about de-escalation and the dangers of police presence on campus.
